Answer #1

First think just of the YZ plane. Standing on it, y = z is a straight line passing through origin, equally inclined to both Y and Z axes.

When we extend this line to space, y = z becomes a plane which is an extension of the direction defined by the line, i.e. the plane is still equally inclined to both the Y and Z axes, just like the line was.

The parameters of interest that can be described about the plane are
